This page will provide a chronology
of the review and approval process of active projects. It
will document hearing dates, community meetings, Community
Board hearings, City agency reviews along with minutes,
resolutions and approval documents.

Once a project is in its final
approved form and actual work has begun, the stages of the
project can be followed on theNYU Construction
site where
you will find useful information about all the University's
construction projects and the various phases of work
progress.

The site,
on Washington Square
South and Thompson
Street, will be home to
NYU's Center for
Academic and Spiritual
Life, which will include
spaces for religious
observance, offices for
NYU's Chaplains' Circle,
classes, music
rehearsals, and
conferences, and will
include space for an
ongoing Catholic
presence.

Mercer St. Garden and the
Co-Gen Plant

Mercer Street Garden
Construction of the
garden jointly designed
with the community is
coming along well. We
expect to remove the
construction barriers in
late August and have our
official grand opening
and reception in
September.

By now, trees and
greenery have been
planted, and the basic
contours of this
inviting, appealing,
relaxing and much-needed
green space can be
discerned.

On Nov. 18, 2008, the 'University
Village' Site (commonly known as the Silver Towers
Complex), built in 1967, was awarded landmark status by the
Landmarks Preservation Commission.

The three buildings, designed by I.M. Pei, are
representations of their architectural era. The
decision made by the Landmarks Preservation
Commission ensures that these buildings will be
preserved and protected so that they can be
appreciated by future generations of NYC residents.
